EEOC Charge Filings Up 9%
The EEOC reports that the number of discrimination charges it receives rose 9% in fiscal year 2007. The largest increase was in retaliation claims (up 18%), followed by age claims (up 15%). Claims in all categories rose significantly, and it appears that charging parties are filing more claims per charge than they have in the past. For a summary of the numbers, see the EEOC's press release; for all the data, see the EEOC's Fiscal Year 2007 Enforcement and Litigation Statistics.
